King and Queen of Barlows, Wayne!! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: That Keen Kutter is quintessential Barlow IMHO; I especially like the dark brown sawcut (and 2 blades). The bolster on the Simmons rules! (Is the Simmons connected with the same hardware store that KK was?)

Yes, Keen Kutter and Simmons Hardware do indeed have a shared, albeit somewhat convoluted heritage that also involves Shapleigh Hardware.

Put a RR 898 Ol' Yellah' six blade Stockman in my pocket today.
Blades are:
Long Clip Point
Short Clip Point
Short Spear Point (AKA: "Pen Blade")
Long Spear Point
Sheepsfoot
Spey/Budding.

Six blades are more versatile than three, right?

Yes. All the blades play nicely together. There is no blade or liner rub.

Looking good Phillip and good to see you in this neck of the woods
 
The 503 (above) got delivered today after sitting in it's box for about 40 years, and went into my pocket within about 40 seconds... I still think I prefer the 501 due to the blade shape but the size of the 503 is great. I see a 440c/micarta/stainless 500 and 505 in my future though, these are such awesome knives!

Whew!! :eek: Jack I was afraid that chart might have been your Blood Pressure after having to ship all of the 2018 Guardians Lambsfeet to their respective homes. :D That is some pretty erratic speed there my friend. I recently changed from DSL to cable internet. My down load speeds are consistently between 110 and 115mbs. I’ve been very pleased so far. That Ebony Guardian is destined to be a classic Jack, just a beautiful knife. By the way mine are still visiting Jamaica NY! :D

There’s probably no way I can keep from getting a speeding ticket this morning! :eek: I got a new Orange Mustang out of its tube this morning to share the driveway with my Maroon Viper! ;)

Finished this one up today, so it's in the pocket :D
Started out like this

It's an old omegawerk knife from my grandpa that we found when renovating his workshop. The secondary had a really strange bladeshape(broken off pen maybe?) one of the scales was broken and one of the liners was bent away from the knife. I chose thicker gauge brass for the liners(were 0,something mm and are now 1mm iirc) and smoked oak for the scales (which is a bitch to capture in a photograph). Turned out fine imo, I just hope the pins don't walk themselves out
